MINUTES OF THE ORONO PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING Monday, August 19,2002 6:30 o’clock p.m. © Fritzler concurred with Rahn. Bremer moved, Mabusth seconded, to approve Application /I02-2812, Marvin and Mary Smith, 1940 Country Club Road, a front yard setback variance to construct a 2 1/2 story addition over the existing garage of the residence. VOTE: Ayes 5, Nays 0. (#5) i/02-2813 MARK WELCH, 3625 NORTH SHORE DRIVE, VARIANCE 8:06 p.m.- 8:40 p.m. Linda Welch, Sister representing the Applicant Mark Welch, was present. Bottenberg explained that the applicant was approved to construct a new residence on the property in February, 2002. The applicant has not yet built the residence and wishes to make two changes to the approved plan. Bottenberg reported that the changes to the plan include shiaing tlie residence on the west side from 8.5 feet to 7.5 feet from the property line, straightening the residence to run parallel with the property line versus the lakeshore and add 65 s.f. to the front of the house by adding a 4.5 foot prow, “v-shape” glass point on the lakeside of the residence. The approved variances had not expired and the additional variances would include a side yard setback to permit the addition to be 5’ and 7.9 ’ from the west side property tine. Additional variances for hardcover and structure within 75’ of the lakeshore were also necessary. The proposed residence was originally approved to be 53’ from the lakeshore, the addition of the “prow” extends the house 4.5’ towards the lake which now locates the residence 48.5 ’ from the lakeshore. Bottenberg reminded the Commission that the DNR minimum lakeshore setback standard is 50 ’ for a General Development Lake property. Although the residence would still be further from the lakeshore than the two adjacent residences, the average lakeshore setback is not an issue. PAGE 16
